When we double the distance between a source of light and the

surface on which it falls, the amount of illumination on the surface

decreases to one fourth (1/4, 0.25)) of the original illumination.

BRAINLIEST WELL BE AWARDED. what is an alloy?

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Alloy, metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as either a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of steel.

Explanation:

Alloys are usually produced by melting the mixture of ingredients. The value of alloys was discovered in very ancient times; brass (copper and zinc) and bronze (copper and tin) were especially important. Today, the most important are the alloy steels, broadly defined as steels containing significant amounts of elements other than iron and carbon. The principal alloying elements for steel are chromium, nickel, manganese, molybdenum, silicon, tungsten, vanadium, and boron have a wide range of special properties, such as hardness, toughness, corrosion resistance, magnetizability, and ductility. Nonferrous alloys, mainly copper–nickel, bronze, and aluminum alloys, are much used in coinage. The distinction between an alloying metal and an impurity is sometimes subtle; in aluminum, for example, silicon may be considered an impurity or a valuable component, depending on the application, because silicon adds strength though it reduces corrosion resistance.

Which would you expect to freeze faster pure water or salt solution why?

krek1111 [17]

Pure water.

A salt solution contains impurities whereas pure water will not contain any impurities.

Impurities increase the boiling point (freezing point) of a substance.

Thus, I would expect the pure water solution to freeze faster than the salt solution.

mass weighing 16 pounds stretches a spring 8 3 feet. The mass is initially released from rest from a point 2 feet below the equi

valina [46]

Answer:

The answer is

" $x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$ ".

Explanation:

Taking into consideration a volume weight = 16 pounds originally extends a springs $\frac{8}{3}$ feet but is extracted to resting at 2 feet beneath balance position.

The mass value is =

$W=mg\\m=\frac{w}{g}\\m=\frac{16}{32}\\m= \frac{1}{2} slug\\$

The source of the hooks law is stable,

$16= \frac{8}{3} k \\\\8k=16 \times 3 \\\\k=16\times \frac{3}{8} \\\\k=6 \frac{lb}{ft}\\\\$

Number $\frac{1}{2}$ times the immediate speed, i.e .. Damping force

$\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} = -6x-\frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+10 \cos 3t \\\\\frac{1}{2} \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2}+ \frac{1}{2}\frac{dx}{dt}+6x =10 \cos 3t \\ \\\frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} +\frac{dx}{dt}+12x=20\cos 3t \\\\$

The m^2+m+12=0 and m is an auxiliary equation,

$m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{1-4(12)}}{2}\\\\m=\frac{-1 \pm \sqrt{47i}}{2}\\\\\ m1= \frac{-1 + \sqrt{47i}}{2} \ \ \ \ or\ \ \ \ \ m2 =\frac{-1 - \sqrt{47i}}{2}$

Therefore, additional feature

$x_c (t) = e^{\frac{-t}{2}}[C_1 \cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t+ C_2 \sin \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t]$

Use the form of uncertain coefficients to find a particular solution.

Assume that solution equation,

$x_p = Acos(3t)+B sin(3t) \\x_p'= -3A sin (3t) + 3B cos (3t)\\x_p}^{n= -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t)\\$

These values are replaced by equation ( 1):

$\frac{d^2x}{dt}+\frac{dx}{dt}+ 12x=20 \cos(3t) -9 Acos(3t) -9B sin (3t) -3Asin(3t)+3B cos (3t) + 12A cos (3t) + 12B sin (3t)\\\\3Acos 3t + 3B sin 3t - 3Asin 3t + 3B cos 3t= 20cos(3t)\\(3A+3B)cos3t -(3A-3B)sin3t = 20 cos (3t)\\$

Going to compare cos3 t and sin 3 t coefficients from both sides,

The cost3 t is 3A + 3B= 20 coefficients

The sin 3 t is 3B -3A = 0 coefficient

The two equations solved:

$3A+3B = 20 \\\frac{3B -3A=0}{}\\6B=20\\B= \frac{20}{6}\\B=\frac{10}{3}\\$

Replace the very first equation with the meaning,

$3B -3A=O\\3(\frac{10}{3})-3A =0\\A= \frac{10}{3}\\$

equation is

$x_p\\\\\frac{10}{3} cos (3 t) + \frac{10}{3} sin (3t)$

The ultimate plan for both the equation is therefore

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} (c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)$

Initially, the volume of rest x(0)=2 and x'(0) is extracted by rest i.e.

Throughout the general solution, replace initial state x(0) = 2,

Replace x'(0)=0 with a general solution in the initial condition,

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(c_1 cos \frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}\cos (3t)+\frac{10}{3}\sin (3t)]\\\\$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2} [(-\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_1\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+ (\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+c_2\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t) +c_1\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t +c_2\sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t + \frac{-1}{2}e^{\frac{-t}{2}} -10 sin(3t)+10 cos(3t) \\\\$

$c_2=\frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141}$

$x(t)= e^\frac{-t}{2}((\frac{-4}{3})\cos\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t- \frac{-64\sqrt{47}}{141} \sin\frac{\sqrt{47}}{2}t)+\frac{10}{3}(\cos(3t)+ \sin (3t))$

If 270 watts of power is used in 42 seconds, how much work was done

navik [9.2K]

Answer: W = 11340J

Explanation:

Hey there! I will give the following steps, if you have any questions feel free to ask me in the comments below.

So this is the Formula: Power = Work / Time.

Step 1: Find the Formula

P = W / T

Step 2: Make W the subject of the equation.

W = PT

Step 3: Given.

P = 270 Watts, T = 42 seconds

Step 4: Substitute these values into equation 2 .

W = 270(42)

Step 5: Simplify.

W = 11340J

The amount of work done was 11340.

~I hope I helped you! :)~
